Letting Go

connection between forgiveness - what it means - connection to anger

Forgiveness is a two-way street.

You can accept forgiveness from others

Or you could offer it to yourself

But to accept forgiveness you must let go of the anger

Anger at not doing

Anger at not knowing

Forgiveness is letting go of anger ... no matter what the cause

Once you let go of the anger ... forgiveness will bathe you in comfort.

Forgiveness helps the forgiver more than it does the one forgiven, as you've stated in your last line. It frees up those fastidious little demons inside that makes us think and act negatively. Good write.

What you say in this poem is the honest truth.We have to let go of the anger that we have for other people and just move on with life.Its no use having anger clog up your life like a toilet bowl.Just flush it down the toilet and out of your life.Take care

Susan,

Very good idea. What's the use of forgiveness if anger lingers. Yet, that's the hardest part to get rid of. Another fine write, my friend.

Very sage advice. You can't forgive if there is still anger in your heart but I must add that you can always remember.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
